s
The present invention relates to certain new 2-
imidazolylmethyl-2-phenyl-1 ,3 dioxolanes, to a process
for thei.r production and to their use as fungicides.
It has already been disclosed that certain tri~
azolylalkanols possess fungicidal properties (see DE-OS
(German Published Specification) 2,431,407). Thus, for
example, 4 chlorophenyl-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)-
carbinol can be used for combating fungi. However, the
action o this substance is not always adequate,
particularly when low amounts are used.
Furthermore, it has already been disclosed that
certaln imidazolyl-alkanols exhibit good actions against
fungi which are pathogenic to humans ~see 7th Med. Chem.
12, 784 791 (1969)). Thus, for example, 4-bromophenyl-
(imidazol-l-yl-methyl)-carbinoL and 2,4-dichlorophenyl-
(imidazol-l-yl-methyl) carbinol can be employed for this
indication. However, the action of these compounds
against phytopathogenic fungi is not always satisfactory.

Solvent: 100 parts by weight of dimethylformamide
Emulsifie;r: 0.25 part by weight. of..a.Lk.ylar.yl polyglycol
ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active
compound, 1 part by weight of act.ive compound was mixed with
the stated amounts of solvent and emulsifier, and the
concentrate was diluted with water to the desired concen-
tration.
To test for protective activity, young plants
were sprayed with the preparation of active compound until
dew-moist. After the spray coating had dried on, the

plants were dusted with spores of Erysiphe graminis f.sp.
hordei.
The plants were placed in a greenhouse at a
temperature of about 20C and a relative atmospheric
S humidity of about 80%, in order to promote the development
of powdery mildew pustules.
Evaluation was carried out 7 days after the
inoculation.
In this test, a clearly superior activity compared
with the prior art was shown, for example, by the
compounds (2) and (4).
Example_B
Drechslera graminea test (barley) / seed treatment
(syn. Helminthosporium gramineum)
The active compounds were used as dry dressingsO
These were prepared by extending the particular active
compound with a ground mineral to give a finely pulverulent
mixture, which ensured uniform distribution on the seed
surface~
To apply the dressing, the infected seed was
shaken with the dressing in a closed glass flask for 3
minutes.
The seed was embedded in sieved, moist standard
soil and was exposed to a temperature of 4C in closed
Petri dishes in a refrigerator for 10 days. Germination
of the barl~y, and possibly also of the fungus spores, was
thereby initiated. 2 batches of 50 yrains of the
pregerminated barley were subsequently sown 3 cm deep in
standard soil and were cultivated in a greenhouse at a
temperature of about 18C, in seedboxes which were exposed
to light for 15 hours daily.
About 3 weeks after sowing, the plants were
evaluated for symptoms of stripe disease.
In this test, a clearly superior activity
compared with the prior art was shown, for example, by the
